Parenting while Autistic: Raising Kids When You’re Neurodivergent
If anyone suggests that autistic people should not have children, in the mistaken belief that they would not be good parents because of their neurodiversity, they are wrong. Completely wrong. This is not to say that every autistic person should have a child, any more than every neuro-majority person should. People usually know for themselves whether or not they want to become parents, and if they don’t, they shouldn’t. It’s as simple as that.

The Hidden Curriculum, 25th Anniversary Edition: Understanding Unstated Rules in Social Situations
The world around us is a complicated place filled with expectations, rules, assumptions, guidelines, regulations, and policies. This “hidden curriculum” exists across environments, places, people and cultures. Although rules and mandates, in themselves, can be complex, most of us take comfort in them—often unconsciously—because they help us to know what to do in most everyday situations. Most of us like rules if they are consistent. It is when they are unclear, or are unstated that we can become upset, indignant, or confused. Some people seem to learn the hidden curriculum and its impact almost automatically. Others learn the hidden curriculum only by direct instruction. That is the purpose of this book.
